It’s a brand new year.
A clean slate some people even say. A new year is like the first day of school to me. But every day is a clean slate if you think
about it. Every day that your eyes open…it’s
a new beginning.
We get an invitation from God every single day and He
waits patiently for us to accept His invitation. He doesn’t force it on us or even get mad
when we don’t take it. He waits and
tries again.
I like to think of Jesus and who He hung out with on a
daily basis. He didn’t hang out so much
with the “accepted” or the “in crowd.”
No, He hung out with the sinners and the people nobody wanted to be with. And you know what He told them? He said, “You are invited.”
A new year…a new day…brings the invitation. It may come as a sunrise, rainfall, quiet
snowflakes covering the trees, the smell of coffee, or your eyes just opening
from a long nights rest. He sends the
invitation…you get to decide if you are going to accept it.
I like that I’m invited to hang out with Jesus and I like
that I’m accepted.
Open your eyes and see His invitation to you.
“Jesus
heard about it and spoke up, ‘Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I’m
here inviting outsiders, not insiders—an invitation to a changed life,
changed inside and out.”’ ~Luke 5: 31-32 (The Message)
Happy New Day!
